    Hamilton’s stage production should be required viewing for every American citizen, but this exhilarating listen is a much more practical, and every bit as enjoyable, stand-in.

    Tickets to the show may be sold out until approximately forever, but this album is an excellent replacement.

    This recording seems a vital one, and time will tell if the musical is a watershed in big-budget musical theater.

    It’s 46 songs of verbose, intricately delivered raps, spun from a story with enough character to have already made it a New York Times best-seller. There’s a lot of ground to cover regardless of medium.
